AFAIK (had the same problems, but don't know much more) the Wine
project has not (yet?) implemented the BiDi functions necessary for
true Hebrew support, including the support needed for MS-Office. So
I think you can't. Will be glad to be proved wrong.
What you can do:
1. Find someone to implement BiDi in Wine. I don't know how hard or
easy this will be, it would involve some Windows internals.
2. Use QText or Dagesh. AFAIK both don't use Windows' BiDi functions
and use their own, so might work on a non-Hebrew versions of Windows,
including Wine. Help the local industry and all :)
3. Run MS-Office using VMWare or Plex86 (if it's good enough yet --
worth trying). Never tried Win4Lin, it might be useful too.
Regarding non-Hebrew MS-Office, I've run Office '97 successfully
without Hebrew. It was a little quirky, though. Wine is supposed to
be able to run Office 2000 now but I never tried it myself.
Good Luck,
Adi Stav
